Hi,
Not really posted much since I joined as Audi's are new too me and I know very little about them so I have been reading the posts and hoping to learn.
Sorry if anything I talk about below has been covered before but I don't seem to have much success with the search box.
So far I have had no real problems with the car and I'm pleased with my purchase but:
1) I have to say i am very dissapointed with the fuel consumption compared to my Mondeo as I struggle to get over 400 miles out of a tank on this even with half a tanks worth of motorway driving I have still only got 456 miles out of a tank?
2) I have the S-tronic gear box and when you pull of it kind of hesitates and then jumps forward like a manual would if you pulled the clutch up without using the accelerator ( if that makes sense? )
3) I have only recently discovered that if you put your foot down with normal pressure the peddle goes to its limit, but if you press a bit harder it goes down another inch or so. is that normal?
4) I also find it near on impossible to keep a constant speed, the only way I can sit at say 30 or 70 is to constantly keep checking the speedo and have to press or depress the peedle accordingly, if I just hold it at one point it gradually keeps accelerating!
Has anyone else had any of these issues?
I am going to call into Audi tomorrow but having had lots of bad experiences with different dealers for my past cars I am expecting them to say "that's normal" or "we can't find anything wrong"!
Lets hope Audi are more clued up about their products than Ford or Vauxhall!!!
